[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your MIL has a point, though - some people can't drive in the dark, and it gets worse as you get older. If she expresses that, it really means it's stressful for them, and they could get into an accident.

I don't know what the compromise could be, but they can come the morning of the 25th, or perhaps you can take off the 24th to prep so they can earlier, or perhaps your husband can pitch in so everything is ready earlier, or you guys can rearrange your schedule to prep certain things the weekend before, or...

But the driving at night thing isn't trivial, OP. As they age, they will have more limitations.[/quote]

Nonsense. She is telling them to ARRIVE at their destination at 4:00PM, when it is not dark.[/quote]

This. So many people are misreading the OP. She told them it’s fine if they arrive at 4, before it gets dark. She is accommodating this request. They are staying overnight so no concerns about driving later. But MIL is still pushing to come earlier and is passive aggressive making comments about OP’s mental health because she’s not getting her way.[/quote]
